Bred by B. Droog (Netherlands, 1874).
Introduced in United States by Jackson & Perkins Co. (post 1970) in 1888 as 'Ramona'.

Late Large Flowered.  

Lavender - blue.  Average diameter 7".  Large, single bloom form.  Early summer to early autumn.  

Height: up to 12' (up to 365cm).  

USDA zone 4b through 9b.  Plant in sun or partial shade.  Suitable for growing in a container.  It blooms on the previous year's growth, so resist the urge to prune it in early spring.  In early spring, cut back to just above the lowest set of healthy buds.
